Chicago area EVENT to visit this summer

Suggestions: sports team, music festival, local village festival, ethnic festivals, fireworks show, auto race, etc. Palatine Street Fest is so much fun. Palatine Street Fest takes place in-you guessed it-Palatine, Illinois, from August 25th through August 27th. The downtown area of the suburb is closed to cars so people are free to mill around as they please. Food vendors line the street, but you can also choose to eat at one of the many local establishments in the area. In my opinion, the best part of Palatine Street Fest is the music. There is a stage located in the center of all of the action, and different bands perform everyday. I highly recommend getting some friends together, buying some ice cream from My Flavor It Place (an ice cream store in the downtown area), and then signing and dancing your hearts out while the bands play.
